開會… 是每天都得面對的。我相信正在聽podcast的你， 今天應該也是會議back to back. 但是真的那麼必要嗎? 今天讓我們來檢視口無遮攔的Elon Musk馬克斯對員工所下的6個規定。Let’s see if you agree with him.

Elon Musk’s 6 rules

  1. Avoid large meeting

    1. large meeting waste valuable time and money
    2. they discourage debate
    3. people are more guarded than open
    4. there is not enough time for everyone to contribute
    5. don’t schedule large meeting unless you are certain they provide value to everyone

  2. Leave a meeting if you are not contributing

    1. if a meeting doesn’t require your input, value, or decision then your presence is useless. It is not rude to leave a meeting but it is rude to waste people’s time.

  3. Forget the chain of commend 從組織的上層到下層的主管人員之間

    1. communicate with colleagues directly, not through supervisor or managers
    2. fast communicator make fast decisions
    3. fast decisions = competitive advantage

  4. Be clear, not cleaver

    1. Avoid nonsense words or technical jargon. It slows down communication.
    2. choose words that are concise, to the point, and easy to understand
    3. don’t try to sound smart, be efficient

  5. Ditch frequent meetings

    1. there is no better way to waste everyone’s time than frequent meetings
    2. use meetings to collaborate, attack issues head on, and to solve urgent problems.
    3. you can resolve most issues without meetings at all
    4. instead of meeting, send a text, send an email or communicate on a discord or slack channel.
    5. don’t interrupt your team’s workflow unless it’s absolutely necessary

  6. Use common sense

    1. if a company rule doesn’t make sense, contribute to progress, or apply to your specific situation, then avoid that rule all together
    2. In general, don’t follow rules, follow principles
